No. I talked to a Ham buddy who just so happens to be a cop. He said
most cops don't bother with truckers because they don't know enough
about trucking law specifically so they don't like to mess with them.
The other thing that I have to give the truckers is it sure doesn't
make much sense to have trucks going 55 MPH, posted truck speed limit,
when 4 wheelers are doing 70 MPH, posted speed limit, and having the 4
wheelers constantly weaving in and out of the right lane passing the
slow moving trucks. I get sick of doing it when I'm on the road and
have to drive a few hundred miles to get to a customer's site. It would
make more sense for all the traffic to be doing roughly the same speed.
The Ohio Turnpike just raised trucks to 65 mph and lowered their gate
fees a tad. Truckers were avoiding the green stamp, so it's all about
the money.
I still avoid the green stamp. Less cops on 20, 250, and 224. Nicer
drive, too.

There ya go. I like the stamp for car travel, they keep it in good
shape. Set the cruise at 70 and glide..
